[No. 773], the Director of the Bureau of the Union and representatives of other consulting committees shall attend only in an advisory capacity. However, when a country is not represented by an admin- istration possessing the right to vote, the representatives of the private operating enterprises of such country, as a whole and regardless of their number, shall be entitled to not more than one vote. With regard to other international organizations, the provisions of §3 (c) of article 2 shall be applied. §3. Any delegation which might, for serious reasons, be prevented from attending meetings, shall have the right to entrust its vote or votes to another delegation. However, a single delegation may not, under these circumstances, use the votes of more than two delegations, including its own vote or votes. §4. No proposal shall be adopted if it is not supported by an absolute majority of the votes cast; in case of a tie, it shall be rejected. §5. Voting shall be conducted either by raising the hands, or, at the request of a delegation, by roll call in the alphabetical order of the French names of the participating countries. In the former case, the minutes shall indicate the number of delegations that voted for and the number that voted against the proposal; in the latter case, they shall indicate the delegations that voted for and those that voted against the proposal. ARTICLE 7 Functioning of Committees, Subcommittees, and Sub-subcommittees §1. The committees created by the plenary assembly may be divided into subcommittees, and the subcommittees into sub-subcommittees. §2. The chairmen of the committees shall propose, for ratification by their respective committees, the selection of the chairman and one or more reporters for each subcommittee and sub-subcommittee. §3. The chairmen may invite experts from private industry to par- ticipate in certain meetings of the committees, if it appears that their collaboration may be useful. §4. The opinions expressed by the committees must be marked "unanimously" or "by a majority", according to whether they were adopted unanimously or by a majority of those voting. §5. The provisions of articles 5 and 6 shall be applicable to the work of the committees, subcommittees, and sub-subcommittees. However, only the delegations and representatives meeting the re- quirements of §2 of article 6 and designated as members of such com- mittees, subcommittees, and sub-subcommittees shall have the right to vote. 193470°-41-PT.
